Strategic Submarine

A strategic submarine is a specialized underwater vessel designed for long-range military missions, primarily to carry nuclear missiles as part of a nation’s defense strategy. These submarines operate covertly beneath the ocean surface, ensuring rapid response and deterrence without being easily detected. They serve as a highly secure, mobile nuclear agility, providing a powerful arm of a country’s nuclear triad—alongside land-based missiles and strategic bombers—ultimately maintaining national security through deterrence and ensuring second-strike capability if needed.
